Atopex

Atopex (Cyclosporine) is immunosuppressant given to dogs to treat skin problems such as dermatitis, as well as helping to reduce the severity of your dogs reactions and symptoms to allergies. It works by targeting the cells which are affected and suppressing their responses and alleviating itchiness or skin lesions. This medicine is suitable for adult dogs and puppies of at least 6 months.

Correct dosage can vary depending on the dog being treated. Always seek and follow the advice of your vet. The most common prescription is 1 Atopex (Cyclosporin) capsule a day for a period of 1 or 2 months. Dosage may be reduced over time as the condition shows signs of improvement. Tablets should be administered on an empty stomach, less than 2 hours before or after a meal. Ensure the tablet is properly swallowed and not spat.

Atopex (Cyclosporin) has proven to be safe for most dogs and adverse reactions are rare. If however, you suspect your dog is suffering from side effects or an adverse reaction of any kind, inform your vet as soon as possible.
